Please vote to establish (whatever it is) that starts the funding and assessment for this project and begin construction this summer. Please vote with an overwhelming majority to overrule the remonstrance that was filed and to carry on with this project. Everytime I drive through that little block long connector between Crest Drive and Storey Boulevard I'm amazed my car hasn't fallen totally apart, wonder if I need another alignment already, and wonder when how much longer any of us will be able to drive the road. These roads and the citizens will not last through another delay. There is alot here, it took me over an hour to write, I appreciate your taking the time to consider these numerous points. reasons why this project should go forward, why voting to continue is important and advisable: bio-swale, water drainage improvements etc infrastructure improvements - a primary responsibility of a city as a government federal stimulus dollars are available and limited to shovel ready project and this is one - listening to one mayor speak on OPB of how fast everyone had to use stimulus dollars having some down sides -he was displeased of how they used it in his city, wishing they could have done more infrastructure projects - The crest drive road project is such a project, something that has to be done that has long term benefits and which would make a difference jobs in city, stimulate the city's economics my understanding is that the RFP has already gone out and a company may have already been chosen do you want to vote for more job loss or vote to continue the projects and keep those jobs intact
